Twenty-One Things

Published 10 June, 2017

So today (7th June) is my birthday. My 21st birthday to be specific. So in the spirit of another year existence and cliche blogger tradition I have written a list of twenty-one things I have done in the past year.

I travelled, a lot. In the past year I have been to Corfu, France, Germany (twice), Amsterdam, and Koh Samui.

I wrote a dissertation.

I finished my final year of university, which is both amazing and terrifying.

I watched Beauty and the Beast twice in the cinemas because why the heck not. (I also quote this meme in my Tinder bio…)

After three attempts I passed my practical driving test. Phew.

For the first and last time I made it for the whole night of May Day (this is a weird Oxford tradition where you stay up all night on the 30th of April and watch a choir on Magdalen tower at 6am…)

I recovered from heartbreak and loss.

I started to take weight training seriously, and now I can’t imagine my life without lifting.

I made friends. I lost friends.

Books. I read lots and lots of books in the last year, some that I enjoyed and some that I didn’t… A literature degree doesn’t mean the books are interesting.

I’m still vegan.

I laughed, and then laughed some more.

I learnt to appreciate more time by myself.

I saw so many of the bands I love perform live, but most importantly for the title of this post I saw Twenty-One Pilots.

I need to get better with money. I mean I’m not awful but I could definitely be better.
